Dances With Wolves Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Hi folks: Here's 'Macky' Steinhoff's E-3 ride during the Battle of Britain. Markings are courtesy of the Possum Werks sheet, created by Tom Meyers, former art director at Accurate Miniatures. This build is part of a tribute to Tom that I took part in last year. Tom Meyers 1959-2008 The rest of the build shots are over in the WIP section. A great weekend to all. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beeza1 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 That is one of the nicest looking 109's I've seen for a long time - very well done Des. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davec_24 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Now that is a stunner! Great job, I'll be pleased as punch if my 109E-4 in the stash turns out even half that good! I love the weathering - subtle but gives that used look to it - just spot on. Any tips on the paint job/weathering for when I come to do my build (which will be in a similar scheme)?

Jazzy Jase Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 That is beautifully finished. May I suggest some subtle exhaust staining though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dances With Wolves Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 That is beautifully finished. May I suggest some subtle exhaust staining though? Thanks for this JJ: I did run some very thin black / red brown over the area aft of the 'zorsts but it's clearly too subtle for the images (it's more apparent in the flesh). I have noticed period shots (I took a gander through a fair few) of some E-3s don't show any obvious staining while some do. Perhaps the stained / non-stained photos reflected fuel quality and / or the state of tune of the motor? Thanks again. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dances With Wolves Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 Just a quick note of thanks to the rest of the chaps kind enough to drop by and give it the thumbs up. A fictional Tiffie is set to return... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n.vodden Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 That is outstanding! Very nicely done indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 That is a simply beautiful build Steve, absolutely stunning finish! Just lovely! Now I want to build an Emil, after swearing I'd never build another 109! Keef PS, any progress on Laura's Camel? I kept checking back on Hyperscale but the way pages disappear so quickly on that site, I don't know whether I missed anything on it? I've also just had a look at your blog, but that doesn't seem to show anything later than August last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobs_Buckles Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Hi Steve, Superb build and finish, dear boy! Well done. Hope to catch up with you soon. TTFN BVB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dances With Wolves Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 n.vodden - Thanks for that; much appreciated. Keef - Likewise and good luck with your next Emil... 'Laura' is still on the bench but overtaken by other projects I regret. I hope to resume it in the not too distant. Thanks again. Bob - 'allo geezer! I'm having a bit of a 'mare with transport at the minute, first Siberia comes to town, then I take the bike out and run over some weird, spiky object that's written off my five month old rear cover...terminally. A wallet bashing replacement's en route and once it's on I'll get out to your work gaff if that's ok Mr B? Hannants is probably off the radar this month as one's carefully laid cash plans are now re-written... Best regards Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-32 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Nice model and good presentation. Never been a huge fan of the '109 but they are really growing on me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that. I was never a big 109 fan either but the range of schemes and finishes is drawing me in judging by what's gathering in the loft stash...
